Paving the Foundation for Disruptive Technologies in Tomorrow's Digital Innovation Hubs

Project description

Sustainable collaboration of African & European DIHs to boost digital innovation

Digital technologies are forever changing the way goods and services are designed, produced and commercialised. To support businesses in this digital transformation, the EU is investing in digital innovation hubs (DIHs) at home and abroad. The EU-funded HUBiquitous project will create a joint Africa-Europe Startup & Innovation Ecosystem for long-term collaborations and partnerships. Specifically, it will empower the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystems and increase the technology level and capacity building of 30 local DIHs/TechHubs in five African countries. Backed by a consortium of five European and four African partners from eight countries, the project will build on the existing cooperation and partnership stemming from two previous Horizon 2020 ICT International Collaborations with Africa projects (WAZIUP, WAZIHUB).
